MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney on 9/25/2026: Petitioner's 9 Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is GRANTED. Petitioner has filed a 8 Motion for the Appointment of Counsel. There currently exists no absolute right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. See Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d 453, 460 (9th Cir. 1996). However, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A authorizes the appointment of counsel at any stage of the case "if the interests of justice so require." See Rule 8(c), Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. In the present case, the court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the appointment of counsel at the present time. Accordingly, Petitioner's 8 Motion for the Appointment of Counsel is DENIED. Petitioner A No. 216 927 947. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk LMK) (Entered: 09/25/2026)
